The LCMS School Ministry office provides Lutheran educational ministries with resources to assist with the mission of sharing the Gospel in schools and their communities. Resources are created annually to support educators and others in ministry who are working with students in early childhood through high school programs.
A growing community of “people who work with Lutheran education” can be found on the #LuthEd Facebook group. With over 6,000 members, this group is a vibrant community where any and all questions about Lutheran education can be quickly answered by educators.

Chapel Talks
“Chapel Talks for Lutheran Schools” contains 45 weekly resources for individuals tasked with leading weekly chapel services to students of all ages in Lutheran and Christian schools.

National Lutheran Schools Week
National Lutheran Schools Week provides the network of over 1,800 LCMS preschools, elementary schools and high schools with the public opportunity to proclaim and celebrate God’s work in Lutheran schools. In this, Lutheran schools thank God for the opportunity to provide excellent academic preparation for the children they serve and for the opportunity to share Jesus’ amazing love with students and their families. National Lutheran Schools Week gives schools the ability to proclaim these great blessings within the communities they serve. Lutheran schools are amazing incubators for faithful witness of God’s love through Christ by teachers and students alike.
